Trepidation ahead of trip to Villa, plus Glenn Hoddle gives his take on Maresca

Straight Outta Cobham: The Athletic FC's Chelsea show

The only way is up after Friday night...

Matt Davies-Adams is back with The Athletic's Luke Bosher and Liam Twomey alongside him to preview Saturday evening's Premier League clash at Aston Villa.

It's fair to say expectations are pretty low as we consider the tactical tweaks that could make a difference against Unai Emery's side, the lack of confidence across the squad and the need for leaders in yet another crucial match if Chelsea are to have any hopes of finishing inside the top four.

Then, a chance to hear from the former Chelsea player and manager Glenn Hoddle, who sat down with Simon Johnson to talk getting the best out of Cole Palmer, the need for his teammates to step up - and how he sympathises with the pressure that Enzo’s under now after recalling parallels between his own difficult time during his first season in charge at Stamford Bridge back in 1993...

Plus - the quiz turns into more of an Alexandre Pato tribute!

We'll be back on Monday to give our assessment of the trip to Villa Park AND look ahead to Tuesday night's visit of Southampton.

HOST: Matt Davies-Adams
